Letters Patent No. 102,065, dated Apr-il 19, 1870.

The Schedule referred tu in these Letters Patent' and making part of the same To all whom it may conce/m:

Be it known that l', CHARLES, TAYLOR, of MoKeesport, in the county 'of Allegheny and VState of Penn Sylvania, have invented a. new and useihl Improvement in Sewdiills; and I do hereby declare that the following is afnil, clear, and exact description thereof,4

which will enable ,others skilled in the nrt to .ma-ke and 4use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in circularsmv mills, and consists in un improved arrangement,

with two circuler saws, of two carriages, one on each side of the saws for operetionhy the same feed-shaft, and the one on the side receiving the lumber being arranged for disconnecting with the driving-eheh; when not required for use, ail as hereinafter more fully speciied.

Figure 1 is e pien view of my improved mill;

Figure 2 is e longitudinelscction of the same, taken on the line x x; and

Figure is s transverse section, taken on the `line i y. i i j A represents the iloor of the mill;

B, the upper sew; and

C, the lower one.

The mandrel 1) of the upper sew is arranged in bearings ou arms E, jointed et the other ends to pivots F, and supported, neer the ends nearing the man drei in slotted pivots G, by adjusting bolts H, by

which the sew is raised er lowered as required,

The arhorof the sew G is borne on the ends of the vertical :mns )I of the levers K, pivoted et L under the door, and having an adjusting-ber, M, rising up through the door, for mining and lowering the saw C, and for holding it et the required position by being wedged in themoxtise in the door 'through which it passes by a. wedge, N.

0 is the ing-carriage, on the side of the sans from which the logs are received; it is aim-ringed on the rollere P, and operznzedV by a rack, Q, and pinion, E, in the ordinary wey.

S is the other carriage, airanged on the opposite side oi the saws to receive Vthe planks as they are being cnt, and support and carry them back; alsofor use when edging planks for sliding themto present either edge to the saws, without the necessity of turning hem over.

T is carriage is znrenged in like manner upon rollers T, end vis operated by ar pinion, U, on the same feed-shaft that carries the pinion Q, and gearing' into a mok, V.

hispinionissplined to the shaft, andis capable of sliding back and forth on it to gear or ungear vifiththe rack, for setting the carriage in motion, or'stopping it while the other continues to operate.

For moving this pinion I have provided the rod'W with a. yoke in the end fitted in a groove in the hub of the pinion, and extending to the rear of theframe which supports the said mandrel D, so es to be in .Y

convenient reach of the operator.

This carriage S is not required to be in operation whensewing light, thin stni, and if not arranged for 'ready disconnection with the driving-gems would be operatedV at'e needless expense of power and weer.

It will be seen that my improved means of adjnsting the saws is very simple and cheap.

Having thus deseribed my'nvention,

I claim es new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination with the' mandrel, of the saw O l and the floor A, oi the right-angled pivoted levers K, bar M, and wedge N, .ell substantially as speciiied.

2. The combination with the saws O B of the two carriages 0 S, when arranged for operation vhy pinions Q U on the same feed-shaft, and the pinion Qis arranged for gearing and ringe-,ming with the rack of the carriage S, all substantially as specified.
